Rough Riders



Rough Riders were a regiment during the Spanish American War led by Theodore Roosevelt in 1898. They wore khaki shirts, a blue bandana with white polka dots that they wore as a neckerchief. They pulled it up over their faces when it was windy. The Rough Riders also wore a pin that showed two swords crossed over each over each other. Very few of the bandanas I mentioned before made it. Teddy wore his bandana when he was being elected governor. That caught the public’s eye. That is what the Rough Riders wore during The Spanish American War.
